Claude Platform on AWS Reaches General Availability
Anthropic
AWS announced general availability of Claude Platform on AWS on May 11, 2026, making it the first cloud provider to offer Anthropic's native Claude Platform experience through existing AWS accounts. Customers authenticate via IAM, receive unified billing on a single AWS invoice, and get access to Claude Managed Agents, web search, code execution, Files API, Skills, MCP connectors, prompt caching, and citations — all operated by Anthropic outside the AWS security boundary. The service is available across 18 global regions.
Why it matters
Lowers the integration barrier for enterprise AWS customers who want Anthropic's full agent stack without separate credentials or billing, directly competing with Amazon Bedrock's Claude offering by providing Anthropic's own managed infrastructure alongside it.
